Female Breadwinners

Will The Men Of The Future All Be Housewives?

Maybe Tony Micelli and Angela Bower were way ahead of the times on Who’s The Boss.There was a time when it would be emasculating to publicize that the woman of the house makes more money or that the man in the relationship takes care of the house, but times are changing.According to a study carried out by Men’s Health magazine, three-quarters of men now have no problem making the second-biggest salary in the household. And if their wife is the biggest breadwinner in the house, 45% of men said they have no issues taking care of the home.Part of why it is accepted nowadays is because there is less peer pressure among men to be the breadwinner.While the term "housewife" is completely part of everyday jargon, "househusband" is quickly joining the conversation. One in five men is already playing that role and has happily accepted it.So don’t be surprised if you see more soccer dads, male maids and more men in laundry commercials.
